Halloween isn’t just about scaring your mom with fake spiders, dressing up, and eating so much candy that your dentist knows to expect you on November 1 every year. Halloween is also about gory, bloody movies that make girls hide behind their outspread fingers and make guys shout things like, “Dude, did you see that thing just rip that girl’s scalp off? Sweet!” Here we’ll break down the 8 bloodiest Halloween movies to get you ready for a 'scarefest' marathon.

    30 Days of Night: Set in Alaska, this movie has plenty of scenes with blood splattered on crisp white snow, a pretty gory sight in and of itself. But when the vampires never even bother to wipe their mouths after a feed, you’ve got blood everywhere.

    Nightmare on Elm Street: This is definitely Freddy Kreuger’s bloodiest film, what with him dragging the helpless Tina up the walls and drenching her in blood as his invisible claws slice her open.

    Hellbound: Hellraiser II: Most of the main characters in this movie have no skin, so this one was a no-brainer. When you add in the Cenobites ripping people apart, you’ve got one that had to go on our list.

    Saw IV: This thriller includes terrifying limb-ripping traps, peeled-off scalps, and even heads crushed with ice picks. After three movies you’d think the filmmakers would be out of gory ideas. But they definitely weren’t.

    House of 1,000 Corpses: Directed by Rob Zombie, full of cannibalism and torture, and---oh yeah, one thousand corpses in the title. This film has enough blood to fill the coffins for those 1,000 dead bodies.
